- Your call, but maybe have a hook about the surgical implants? Kees08 (Talk) 16:25, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

... that Félicette, the first cat in space, had electrodes surgically implanted in her brain to assess neurological activity?

- Template:U, how is that? --- Coffeeandcrumbs 16:38, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
Really interesting article. New GA. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Image is fair use. QPQ done.
- I think the average reader will like the first hook. ALT1 seems obvious. For ALT0, the 5 minutes of weightlessness is verified and cited inline, but the 9 g's need an inline cite. Yoninah (talk) 19:28, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
- Template:Re The citation attached states in French:
- "Durant les 42 secondes de poussée, la chatte, terrifiée, subit une accélération de 9,5 g."
- which translates to:
- "During the 42 seconds of thrust, the cat, terrified, undergoes an acceleration of 9.5 g."
- Thanks for the review. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 19:36, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
- The poor thing experienced 9.5 g's of acceleration during ascent and 9 g's when the parachute deployed. You are looking at the wrong sentence. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 20:13, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
- This reference. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 20:17, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
Facepalm
Oh. Thanks. Foreign language ref AGF and cited inline. ALT0 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 20:36, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
- Template:Re sorry for the last minute tweak but I changed "was subjected to" → "experienced" for NPOV. Subjected seems too judgmental to me. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 20:47, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
